WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1842. Slant nil he's Iss hi. Hurry 1 " The editor of the Statesman in beside himself with passion. He hu lost his usual discretion and tact He keeps talking about that mauvaist affair of Shannon's, when prudence would dictate to him to hold his tongue and let the matter die away. The Statesman has much to disturb its equanimity, and confuse its intellects, we allow, but he is no good soldier who loses his presence of mind in the heat of battle. Tho prospect of overwhelming defeat and hsmo to say nothing of the loss of the "quasi quires" renders him fidgetty, crabbed and testy. We ure charged with making a base attack upon Gov.Srtannon because in reply to Sam's appeals No ihe religious portion of the Whig parti," we have shown whut kind of a man he wants tho votes of moral and religious men for. Now he undertakes to cry iu down, and i to tell what Whigs say, because we have laid bare . the seams and spots in Gov. Shannon's reputation. ,?Xh ! Sammy, that kind of humbug don't take. You -.oe too well known in this community to make any tftuv; as gross as Unit puss current Neither the Whigs or your own party are growing any more enamored of Wilson Shannon, because we have lot in the light upon his private character. Nor do wo think the Governor will feel particularly indebted to you for your efforts to extend his reputation. But Sam says wo have been " raking up falsehoods from the old and rotten kennels of Federalism!" This is the argument which tho Statesman applies to a transcript from the records of the Suporior Court of Virginia. We have shown under Hit seal of Uie Court, that Shannon was mlicted for gambling that ht plead GUILTY foal he mis fined Twr.;ay dollars amu costs and that for four or five years afterwards, NO PART OF THE SAME HAD BEEN PAID. Sain calls that "raking up falsehoods! We wondfr what Sam would call a real falsehood. Now if all w8 have stated was not true, we rather think an action would lie in the case for libel. What is the reason we hear nothing about a prosecution, as we ofteu do from the Statesman, respecting matters III it are not actionable. Would not they bo bringing one, if they had any grounds to begin on ? Aledary is so much agitated about his own and the fate of the party, that we suspect ho will keep stirring Uiis subject doily, till tho election is over. Ho does not appear to bo aware that he injures nobody but.the man he would shield, by making him a conspicuous object, and railing at other people for telling the truth about him. "Sum me from my friends," the sinking, despniring Shannon has as good reason to cry in tho very agony of dissolving nature, as any other man that has ever been put to Ihe tor ture by their indiscretions, and the examples are not rare. We have but ono further remark to offer on this object to-day. Wo want every religious man in tho Loco Foco party, to reflect upon tho circumstance that the Stale of Ohio is the debtor of Virginia in a manner nearly touching our honor. The account may he stated thus : " THE HTATE OF OHIO, per Wilios Siukhoj, TO THE COMMON WEATH OF VIRGINIA, Pr. Scot. 6. HUH. To amount ot FINE on CONVICTION for liA.MINU . HMi " cuits ol suit ... ZOfiAt Tolal SW.tJO When they come to cast their votes for such a man, let them think of this unsettled account between tho two Slates. Mir. liabers' ttrirsavisl. We commend tha statement of Sir. Jonathan Rob erts, late Collector of Philadelphia, to as culm a consideration as our readers can enforce themselves to, whilst pcniaing it. The proscription of such a man, fur such a cause, is an outrage of an unprece dented character. How the viodcrn Benedict Arnold will be loathed and detested, when he retires from the station which he fills so unworthily ! From the HaJlimore American. A rtfesr Carrrssrr Hriuls el Unglnnd Nate. We notice in tho Western papers, lint Bank ol England notes of tho denomination of X IU anJ JC'JU are circulating in New Orleans, Louisville and Cincinnati. Col. Benton's prediction when laboring to destroy a good currency and promising a better, is curiously illustrnicd. Instead ol American gold flowing up the Mississippi, it appears that British Bank notes aro setting with a considerable current that way. These Bank of England notes have made their appearance in New Orleans and other places in tho South West fur tho purchase of cotton. The fuel itselt shows strongly ttie great need ol a National institution to supply a nation ii currency lor ourselves. The miserable humbug which such financier as Messrs. Benton, Van Buren, and others, of the hard money school, have been spreading over the land as the peculiar idea of the M Democracy," is daily proving its own worthlcssncas and tho delusion or the liiuranco of its votaries. II tins absurdity is to pre vail to such an extent as to defeat tho establishment of a national institution much longer, it is not tin-probable that there will be aircnnes of the Bunk of England in every ono of our chief cities private agencies of course, but nono tho less active on that account. Ijttt those who exclaim against a National Bank ask themselves how they would like a currcn cy furnished by the Bank of England. Tho strange infatuation which oeins to posse some politicians when they talk and talk loudly of the blessings ol a currency, exclusively metallic, and represent uie same to Iho people as trie most de- irablo of objects, would be deserving of pity if 11 were not that something morn man a delusion ol- ten rmsanases them. It they are mad there is meth od in their madness. Tit attractive sounds of gold and silver aro fascinating to the ear, and so long as they believe that tho people can be lured by these sounds, and be influenced by Ihe vague associations connected with tliem iti other words, so lung as political capital can be made out of the stecious doctrine, o long will it hnd advocates full of noise and fury. They misrepresent tho true naturo of the system which the upholders of a mixed, convertible currency maintain: Ihevdec nunnirniiist naocr mi: thev de nounce tho abuses of the Banking system abuses which tnairown policy gave rise to. Having do-atrnyed a well rerrulateu system they point to iisfrnir. ments and say, what a system is this ! The evils which result from ita disordered action aa the con sequences of tlioirown hostility they charge aathe effort of its regular operation. If these ultraHt hoiild carry out Iheir doctrines to the full extent, and destroy all Banks, they would otitam a a currency, not gold and silver exclusively, but Ihe irtsues or privnte Banker. hnappn, Ten ningtons, and others of thai sort, though upon a more extended scale, would supply a circulation. It would ao happen, just as surely aa it now happens that tho note of the Bank of England are taking the place of a circulation which a Bank of the United States one furnished. Such a circulation there must be, By destroying our national institution, gold and ill ver were not made more abundant nor was Ihe ne co-wily of a national currency at all removed. If Ihe experienre of the past and the facta of the present time could be used to enable us to protit by what they truly teach if we could lesrn to reform whatever may have been proved defective, to place now securities where omissions had been disclosed, to preserve tried principle and change their mode of operation only where chance would render them oeneticiai; u this disposition prevailed instead ol rest-leea desire for chango and a destructive capricious- noes prone to now experimental and prompting to overthrow and re-construct conlinuillr, we might nine down quietly after our long and slllictive Iron blea not altogether without benefit from havinir naa- od through thorn.

Our article of Tuesday last, warning the people of Columbus and Franklin county against the wicked designs of Medary, Brough & Co. respecting the removal of the Capitol, fell like a bomb-shell in the camp of the enemy. We had no conception of the effect it was calculated to produce. The whole hive has been in commotion ever since, and yesterday'! Statesman contains about fAree columns of matter, purporting to show that the only way in which the people of this city can escape the doom which the State Printer and his coadjutors have prepared for them, is to yield to their unprincipled demands, and purchase immunity by sending a Representative to the Legislature who is known to be under thoir influence, and who belongs to the party that makes the removal of the scat of government a political question, to be decided in Tin Pan. Sam belabors the subject in his usually clear and discriminating manner, and Mr. Hibbs is himself constrained to take the stand, and assure the good peoplo of city and county, that if they are not ready to ewallow him, Petticoat Allen, " Quasi Quires," Latham's electioneering humbug, and the whole doso of Loco Foco-ism in ita unmixed and most unqualified state, why Heaven help their unbelief and deliver them from the rage of those uncontrollable spirits that are coming here next winter from some of the neighboring counties. This extreme modesty on the part of Mr. Hibbs, ought to commend him greatly to the public admiration. And he is the more entitled to the gratitude of our citizens for frankly communicating to them the fact, that unless they take him as he is, ithout further question or parley, the consequences bo upon their own heads ho cannot save tho Cnpi-tol I Now there is on record an example of a Capitol's being saved by the gabbling of a G'oote, but Mr. Hibbs is greatly deceiving himself, if he ima gines that he is destined to a similar immortality. We imagine this matter is too well understood, now, to need a great deal of eludication at our hands. Tho project of removal has no abettors in this community, except among those who aro influenced by political considerations alone. The author of the foul scheme is Medary himself, and it was brought out in 1840, when a large majority of the people of Columbus threw open their doors to wel come and entertain the Delegates to tho great Con vention on the SMd of February in that year. That was an ofTunce against a man who had elected himself to the office of State Printer, and who presumed upon tho position thus gained to dictate to the peo ple of Columbus how they should think and act. Who keeps the project alive now ? Who has the impudence to tell the peoplo of Columbus that Ihey must renuunc their political opinions, and yield themselves up to his direction, or they will bo punished for their obstinacy by a measure which is to afToct their pecuniary inlorcsu ? By what power is the gamo to bo carried out? The plan of removal is a Loco Foco plan. How can wo escape the threatened danger ? Why, wo aro told with the simplicity of children, that tho true mode of compromising the difficulty, is to strengthen the hands of the enemies of the city, by electing one of tho samo party who aro pledged to the measure of removal, to the Legislature, and thereby appease the ficrco feel ing of hostility which is likely to rago against us, if we should be so stupid as to send a genuine friond to tho General Assembly. In other words, wo are required to put our hands Into tho Lion's mouth, that we may experience his magnanimity in being permitted to withdraw them again unhurt, under the penalty of being torn to pieces in his fury, if we do not submit to the prescribed ordeal. This matter is not suceptible of much mystifica tion. The arch enemy of the city is Sam Medary. If any person supposes that he is to be propitiated by the election of one of his tools to the Legislature, against a man selected by the people themselves in county convention, they will vote for Mr. Hibbs. Mr, II. is Mcdary's man. He nominated him. Nobody else had any thing to do with bringing him out as a candidate. Ho is his man. and were he to go to the Legislature he would not represent the people of the county, but only his patron, the State Printer. We have no fears of Mr. Ilibb's election. He will not come within five hundred votes of being elected. We have no fears of a Loco Foco Legislature. There will be from ten to twenty majority against the Looo Focos next winter. But our confidence in such results does not warrant our resting upon our oars in siipincness and apathy. Nor is it any reason why a Whig vote should be given to tho Loco Foco candidate, by which tho project of removal shall gain strength and consequence. The true way to put this design duwn, and secure exemption from ita further agitation, is to frown upon all who aro in any wis connected with it Let ui give such a majority against the conspirators, that they will never venture to entertain it in any futuro period. l.ct none of our friends be found so silly and siinplo, as to tako cnunsul of their fears. It was an ancient maxim, thnt the gods helped thoso who helped themselves. If the people of Columbus ever expect to see another tone laid upon tho foundation of the new State Houso, it must be from a Legislature independent entirely of Mcdary's influence. The election of a Loco Foco from Franklin county would be fatal to our interests and prosperity iJ uould be the signal of removal, and what would be wonto, we should not have a word of remonstrance to utler. Whigs of Columbus and Franklin, be not deceiv ed in this matter ! Your only reliance is uponyourselves-" PUSH ON YOUR COLUMN!" Elect Chenowith and your whole ticket give Coawirt a majority of six or seven hundred, and you may laugh to scorn the threat of removal, and of chastisement for your independence, which emanate from the Slate Printer'! den. The inleausNN regard far Trails. The Statesman is still fishing for the votes of the "religious portion of the Whig party." It recom mends itself to their confidence by tho utterance of the moat notorious falsehoods. It charges ua with making baso and slanderous attacks u(mn Gov. Shan non. How so, Mr. Statesman? Did not Gov. Shannon play cards for money, in an eating house at Wheeling? Did not the Grand Jury of the county indict hun for tho otfenco Did ho not try to avoid tho indictment by a silly affidavit about one of the Grand Jurors being a aujiervisor of road, and that therefore their finding of a bill was improper? A pretty, contemptible hift that, for a Governor! But that ia not all Did not this same Gov. Shannon afterwards come inlo court, tins same affidavit to the contrary notwithatandiug, and iVracf guilty to the trt-didmenl t Waa ho not fined in the aunt of $.'0 and costa? Did he not also enter in a recognisance to keep the peaco and be of good behaviour, within the Commonwealth of Virginia? And did he not from year to yoar avoid the payment of the finer Will the Statesman dare answer any of these questions in Ihe negative ? We challenge him to do it, and we hereby proclaim ourselves armed with the proofs under the official seal of the court, if there ia any one who ha any doubts upon tho subject Out upon the scurvy wretch, who dare to call upon the religious community to sympathise with him in theaupportof aconricffigtimorr; who dares charge that a certified copy of a court record i " a vilo attempt to alander tho good name of the Demo cratic candidate 1" Good name, indeed !

Hit wife immediately ran to a neighbor's about filty rods distant and procured the assistance of Mr. C, Jacob, who immediately went into the well, when he became affected in the same manner. Mr. Charles Scheller next descended and experienced the same effect. His father, Mr. George Scheller, then went to their assistance, and met the fata of the others.

Without giving the proceeding of the House hen considering the wool section of the Tariff Bill, the Loco Foco papers eina out, that woo! is not ade quately protected. Perhaps this may be so, but who is in the fault, and to whom are we indebted for the protection the wool-grower does get? While the subject was being considered in the House, SIX WHIGS moved to increase protection to wool, and FOUR LOCO FOCOS and ONE TYLER MAN moved to cut it down lower than it actually ia in the Bill, as follows : Tuesday, July 12. The duties on wool wore un der consideration, when the following members mov ed amendments: FOR THE PROTECTION OF WOOL All Whios. Mr. Fillmore, of N. York, for tho committee. Mr. Slado, of Vermont Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee. Mr. Brigg, of Massachusetts. Mr. Everett, of Vermont Mr. Hall, of Vermont Mr. Mason, of Ohio. The following gentlemen moved amendments : AGAINST THE WOOL GROWER. All Loco Focos. Mr. Cushing, of Massachusetts, Tylerite. Mr. Brown, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee. Mr. Smith, of Virginia. Mr. Roosevelt, of New York. On these motions bv the Whiire to increase pro tection on wool the Loco Focos voted in a mass in the negative. Still Mori While the vetoed Tariff Bill was progressing through the House, Roosevelt of New York cily, moved to cut down the duty on wool to 'JO per cent specific and his motion was sgain sustained by the Loco Foco members a a body. Who then are for protecting wool? Not one Loco Foco member made a motion in the Huuse to increase the duty on wool. The whole proceedings show the Loco Focos to be opposed to any measure in regard to wool that has Protection fur it object So says Burk of JNcw Hampshire. iTIr, Webaler' Mpeecb al Rsalsa, Tho discourse from Mr. WtnsTER, for which the country has looked, of late, with such intenso curiosity, has at length been pronounced. On Friday last, at 1 anueil Hall, in llie presence ot a very large concourse of his friends, this distinguished gentleman delivered, in a speech occupying an hour and three-quarters, a general history of hi later and present politics. Wo have space now only to touch upon some ol the main topics of the speech, and to convey a general notion of its political tenor. Of tho transactions connected Willi the rupture of the Harrison Cabinet it oiler no new disclosures. It declares that Mr. W. gave his advice against all the vetoes. It denounce the compromise act as a measure every way bad. It expresses the hope that tho protective policy will be the perpetual one of this country. It attributes all the disaster of the present state of things lo the failure of ihe Whig to make tho best of Mr. Tyler. Mr. W. thinks that a union with the Administration is still the wisest and best course for the Whig party, to which he avers ho jet most cordially belongs ; and thut the enpitnl measure, now incumbent on every patriot, is the adoption of his own original Exchequer scheme, not shorn of the ex-cluinge feature, but in all its proportions, before they were curtailed by the shears ol Congressional Committees.As to Mr. VV.'s retirement from the Cabinet tho speech seems to u to indicate a furthor pospone- ment We state its matter, however, in the hastiest possible way, and upon a very imperfect perusal. We shall be able in a day or two, we think, to pre sent it to our readers, and to offer the few rcinurks which wo feel it right to venture. Yofionaf hutlh- gtneer. A Cold Shoulder.

We pray that the Democrat may not, by seeking and holding orhce, incur any responsibility for the measure and doings of an administration whose progress through infancy and youth to middle age ha been under the kindly nurture and training of Daniel Webster, whose love of Democracy has been manifested by repealing the Sub Treasury and opposing the whole of the Democratic measures, and excluding from office such men as the brave McNeil of this State, and whose patriotism ha been signalized by the conclusion of a truckling, ignominious and disgraceful treaty."

From Ibe New York Tribune, September . A severe Frost was experienced all over the State on Uie night between Friday and Saturday. The ground was whitened with it between Auburn and Attica, and wo presume nearly all over our own and the neighboring States. The Railroad Trains between Albany and Rochester were much delayed by the slipping of the wheels on the rails, caused by the frost The weather had for several days previous been cool and cold, with a fall of rain on Wednesday morning All the water-courses ot the interior are unusually high, the canals included. Cayuga Lake is four feet higher than it usually is at Uiis season. Wednesday, Thursday, and rnday, wore cloudy, hilly, windy November-like days; tho trust was kept off till Friday night by Uie cloud and wind.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1842. AaparllaaaBsusS In Vlaaachasiu The Lias af sate SlatesflBBBj. refuted. About a week or ten days since, the Statesman waa in great travail about the injustice which it waa pretended had been done by the Whigs in the Legislature of Massachusetts, to their opponents, in the apportionment of the State. These complaint, as we then suspected, turn out to be entirely without foundation. They are only trumped up for the base purpose of covering over the frauds of the Loco Focos in other States, and to stimulate them to further wrongs, by pretence that the Whigs, when Ihey have the power, are no better than the Loco Focos themselves. This is but a poor remuneration for the fair and honorable course of the Whigs of Massachusetts, and if virtue was not its own reward, would not go far toward encouraging Die in in the practice of justice and impartiality. One cause of complaint, is, that counties have been divided in forming the new district. Such has always been the practice in that State it wa ao twenty year ago. At present it waa unavoidable. There were fourteen large counties, and but ten districts, and it was found lhat the districts could be made much more compact by dividing the counties than by attempting to keep them together. The Boston Advertiser say that the division of the State "has been dono in a manner which constitute district of very nearly equal population, with the exception of one consisting of the city of Boston, all formed of contiguous towns, compactly and conveniently situated for acting in concert A bare inspection of the map will show that so far as regards the geographical form of the several district, and the convenient location of their respective parti, the distribution is as unobjectionable as any that could be found. It will be found also on examination, that regard has been had, aa far as was practicable, to Uie habits of intercourse and aimilarity of pursuit between the inhabitants of towns united in the same districts." One of the charges of the Loco Foco papers was, that the division had been made in such a manner, that tho Whigs would elect 9 out of the ten members to Congress. When it is recollected that there is a Whig majority of 15 or 20,000 in the State, pretty equally diffused, and that the Whigs elected 10 of the 12 members at the last election, it would be no decided proof of unfairness, if they should socure nine out of the ten new members. A State cannot be divided with exclusive reference to political contention. In the present instance, the districts comprise almost an exact equality of population aryingless than 1000 from 71,500, except in the ily of Boslon, and that operate to the disadvantage if tho Whigs. In New York there are disparities f 10, 15, 20, and 25,000 between the different dis-l icls, and that when it was perfectly convenient to uve made them much more uniform in point of num-ers. The simple fact that in Massachusetts, the districts all contain within a thousand or twelve lundred of the exact ratio prescribed by Congre with the exception above named is proof conclu sive that the division has been honestly made. And we venture to asseit, that whichever party haa Uie majority in the State, will be found to have the ma jority in Congress. If the Loco Focos can carry Uie State by 10 or 15,000 they will have all the Representative in Congre, without doubt, except possi bly the Boston district We had something different from this to complain of in Ohio. Here we might have carried the State by 10,000 majoiity, and still the Loco Focos would have got 14 out of the 21 Representative. Tho Boston Advertiser demonstrates beyond all cavil that :he division is a fair and equitable one, by showing how tho district aa now formed, would have elected member of Congress in 1839 the year in which Morton wa elected Governor by a majority of I one role. The results in the district would have beon as follows : Whig Loco Foco Irlslrict. Population. maj. maj.

He hu lost his usual discretion and tact He keeps talking about that mauvaist affair of Shannon's, when prudence would dictate to him to hold his tongue and let the matter die away. The Statesman has much to disturb its equanimity, and confuse its intellects, we allow, but he is no good soldier who loses his presence of mind in the heat of battle. Tho prospect of overwhelming defeat and hsmo to say nothing of the loss of the "quasi quires" renders him fidgetty, crabbed and testy. We ure charged with making a base attack upon Gov.Srtannon because in reply to Sam's appeals No ihe religious portion of the Whig parti," we have shown whut kind of a man he wants tho votes of moral and religious men for. Now he undertakes to cry iu down, and i to tell what Whigs say, because we have laid bare . the seams and spots in Gov. Shannon's reputation. ,?Xh ! Sammy, that kind of humbug don't take. You -.oe too well known in this community to make any tftuv; as gross as Unit puss current Neither the Whigs or your own party are growing any more enamored of Wilson Shannon, because we have lot in the light upon his private character. Nor do wo think the Governor will feel particularly indebted to you for your efforts to extend his reputation. But Sam says wo have been " raking up falsehoods from the old and rotten kennels of Federalism!" This is the argument which tho Statesman applies to a transcript from the records of the Suporior Court of Virginia. We have shown under Hit seal of Uie Court, that Shannon was mlicted for gambling that ht plead GUILTY foal he mis fined Twr.;ay dollars amu costs and that for four or five years afterwards, NO PART OF THE SAME HAD BEEN PAID. Sain calls that "raking up falsehoods! We wondfr what Sam would call a real falsehood. Now if all w8 have stated was not true, we rather think an action would lie in the case for libel. What is the reason we hear nothing about a prosecution, as we ofteu do from the Statesman, respecting matters III it are not actionable. Would not they bo bringing one, if they had any grounds to begin on ? Aledary is so much agitated about his own and the fate of the party, that we suspect ho will keep stirring Uiis subject doily, till tho election is over. Ho does not appear to bo aware that he injures nobody but.the man he would shield, by making him a conspicuous object, and railing at other people for telling the truth about him. "Sum me from my friends," the sinking, despniring Shannon has as good reason to cry in tho very agony of dissolving nature, as any other man that has ever been put to Ihe tor ture by their indiscretions, and the examples are not rare. We have but ono further remark to offer on this object to-day. Wo want every religious man in tho Loco Foco party, to reflect upon tho circumstance that the Stale of Ohio is the debtor of Virginia in a manner nearly touching our honor. The account may he stated thus : " THE HTATE OF OHIO, per Wilios Siukhoj, TO THE COMMON WEATH OF VIRGINIA, Pr. Scot. 6. HUH. To amount ot FINE on CONVICTION for liA.MINU . HMi " cuits ol suit ...

The proscription of such a man, fur such a cause, is an outrage of an unprece dented character.

We notice in tho Western papers, lint Bank ol England notes of tho denomination of X IU anJ JC'JU are circulating in New Orleans, Louisville and Cincinnati. Col. Benton's prediction when laboring to destroy a good currency and promising a better, is curiously illustrnicd. Instead ol American gold flowing up the Mississippi, it appears that British Bank notes aro setting with a considerable current that way. These Bank of England notes have made their appearance in New Orleans and other places in tho South West fur tho purchase of cotton. The fuel itselt shows strongly ttie great need ol a National institution to supply a nation ii currency lor ourselves. The miserable humbug which such financier as Messrs. Benton, Van Buren, and others, of the hard money school, have been spreading over the land as the peculiar idea of the M Democracy," is daily proving its own worthlcssncas and tho delusion or the liiuranco of its votaries. II tins absurdity is to pre vail to such an extent as to defeat tho establishment of a national institution much longer, it is not tin-probable that there will be aircnnes of the Bunk of England in every ono of our chief cities private agencies of course, but nono tho less active on that account. Ijttt those who exclaim against a National Bank ask themselves how they would like a currcn cy furnished by the Bank of England. Tho strange infatuation which oeins to posse some politicians when they talk and talk loudly of the blessings ol a currency, exclusively metallic, and represent uie same to Iho people as trie most de- irablo of objects, would be deserving of pity if 11 were not that something morn man a delusion ol- ten rmsanases them. It they are mad there is meth od in their madness. Tit attractive sounds of gold and silver aro fascinating to the ear, and so long as they believe that tho people can be lured by these sounds, and be influenced by Ihe vague associations connected with tliem iti other words, so lung as political capital can be made out of the stecious doctrine, o long will it hnd advocates full of noise and fury. They misrepresent tho true naturo of the system which the upholders of a mixed, convertible currency maintain: Ihevdec nunnirniiist naocr mi: thev de nounce tho abuses of the Banking system abuses which tnairown policy gave rise to. Having do-atrnyed a well rerrulateu system they point to iisfrnir. ments and say, what a system is this ! The evils which result from ita disordered action aa the con sequences of tlioirown hostility they charge aathe effort of its regular operation. If these ultraHt hoiild carry out Iheir doctrines to the full extent, and destroy all Banks, they would otitam a a currency, not gold and silver exclusively, but Ihe irtsues or privnte Banker. hnappn, Ten ningtons, and others of thai sort, though upon a more extended scale, would supply a circulation. It would ao happen, just as surely aa it now happens that tho note of the Bank of England are taking the place of a circulation which a Bank of the United States one furnished.

Our article of Tuesday last, warning the people of Columbus and Franklin county against the wicked designs of Medary, Brough & Co. respecting the removal of the Capitol, fell like a bomb-shell in the camp of the enemy. We had no conception of the effect it was calculated to produce. The whole hive has been in commotion ever since, and yesterday'! Statesman contains about fAree columns of matter, purporting to show that the only way in which the people of this city can escape the doom which the State Printer and his coadjutors have prepared for them, is to yield to their unprincipled demands, and purchase immunity by sending a Representative to the Legislature who is known to be under thoir influence, and who belongs to the party that makes the removal of the scat of government a political question, to be decided in Tin Pan. Sam belabors the subject in his usually clear and discriminating manner, and Mr. Hibbs is himself constrained to take the stand, and assure the good peoplo of city and county, that if they are not ready to ewallow him, Petticoat Allen, " Quasi Quires," Latham's electioneering humbug, and the whole doso of Loco Foco-ism in ita unmixed and most unqualified state, why Heaven help their unbelief and deliver them from the rage of those uncontrollable spirits that are coming here next winter from some of the neighboring counties. This extreme modesty on the part of Mr. Hibbs, ought to commend him greatly to the public admiration. And he is the more entitled to the gratitude of our citizens for frankly communicating to them the fact, that unless they take him as he is, ithout further question or parley, the consequences bo upon their own heads ho cannot save tho Cnpi-tol I Now there is on record an example of a Capitol's being saved by the gabbling of a G'oote, but Mr. Hibbs is greatly deceiving himself, if he ima gines that he is destined to a similar immortality. We imagine this matter is too well understood, now, to need a great deal of eludication at our hands. Tho project of removal has no abettors in this community, except among those who aro influenced by political considerations alone. The author of the foul scheme is Medary himself, and it was brought out in 1840, when a large majority of the people of Columbus threw open their doors to wel come and entertain the Delegates to tho great Con vention on the SMd of February in that year. That was an ofTunce against a man who had elected himself to the office of State Printer, and who presumed upon tho position thus gained to dictate to the peo ple of Columbus how they should think and act. Who keeps the project alive now ? Who has the impudence to tell the peoplo of Columbus that Ihey must renuunc their political opinions, and yield themselves up to his direction, or they will bo punished for their obstinacy by a measure which is to afToct their pecuniary inlorcsu ? By what power is the gamo to bo carried out? The plan of removal is a Loco Foco plan. How can wo escape the threatened danger ? Why, wo aro told with the simplicity of children, that tho true mode of compromising the difficulty, is to strengthen the hands of the enemies of the city, by electing one of tho samo party who aro pledged to the measure of removal, to the Legislature, and thereby appease the ficrco feel ing of hostility which is likely to rago against us, if we should be so stupid as to send a genuine friond to tho General Assembly. In other words, wo are required to put our hands Into tho Lion's mouth, that we may experience his magnanimity in being permitted to withdraw them again unhurt, under the penalty of being torn to pieces in his fury, if we do not submit to the prescribed ordeal. This matter is not suceptible of much mystifica tion. The arch enemy of the city is Sam Medary. If any person supposes that he is to be propitiated by the election of one of his tools to the Legislature, against a man selected by the people themselves in county convention, they will vote for Mr. Hibbs. Mr, II. is Mcdary's man. He nominated him. Nobody else had any thing to do with bringing him out as a candidate. Ho is his man. and were he to go to the Legislature he would not represent the people of the county, but only his patron, the State Printer. We have no fears of Mr. Ilibb's election. He will not come within five hundred votes of being elected. We have no fears of a Loco Foco Legislature. There will be from ten to twenty majority against the Looo Focos next winter. But our confidence in such results does not warrant our resting upon our oars in siipincness and apathy. Nor is it any reason why a Whig vote should be given to tho Loco Foco candidate, by which tho project of removal shall gain strength and consequence. The true way to put this design duwn, and secure exemption from ita further agitation, is to frown upon all who aro in any wis connected with it Let ui give such a majority against the conspirators, that they will never venture to entertain it in any futuro period. l.ct none of our friends be found so silly and siinplo, as to tako cnunsul of their fears. It was an ancient maxim, thnt the gods helped thoso who helped themselves. If the people of Columbus ever expect to see another tone laid upon tho foundation of the new State Houso, it must be from a Legislature independent entirely of Mcdary's influence. The election of a Loco Foco from Franklin county would be fatal to our interests and prosperity iJ uould be the signal of removal, and what would be wonto, we should not have a word of remonstrance to utler. Whigs of Columbus and Franklin, be not deceiv ed in this matter ! Your only reliance is uponyourselves-" PUSH ON YOUR COLUMN!" Elect Chenowith and your whole ticket give Coawirt a majority of six or seven hundred, and you may laugh to scorn the threat of removal, and of chastisement for your independence, which emanate from the Slate Printer'! den. The inleausNN regard far Trails. The Statesman is still fishing for the votes of the "religious portion of the Whig party." It recom mends itself to their confidence by tho utterance of the moat notorious falsehoods. It charges ua with making baso and slanderous attacks u(mn Gov. Shan non. How so, Mr. Statesman? Did not Gov. Shannon play cards for money, in an eating house at Wheeling? Did not the Grand Jury of the county indict hun for tho otfenco Did ho not try to avoid tho indictment by a silly affidavit about one of the Grand Jurors being a aujiervisor of road, and that therefore their finding of a bill was improper? A pretty, contemptible hift that, for a Governor! But that ia not all Did not this same Gov.

Without giving the proceeding of the House hen considering the wool section of the Tariff Bill, the Loco Foco papers eina out, that woo! is not ade quately protected. Perhaps this may be so, but who is in the fault, and to whom are we indebted for the protection the wool-grower does get? While the subject was being considered in the House, SIX WHIGS moved to increase protection to wool, and FOUR LOCO FOCOS and ONE TYLER MAN moved to cut it down lower than it actually ia in the Bill, as follows : Tuesday, July 12. The duties on wool wore un der consideration, when the following members mov ed amendments: FOR THE PROTECTION OF WOOL All Whios. Mr. Fillmore, of N. York, for tho committee. Mr. Slado, of Vermont Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee. Mr. Brigg, of Massachusetts. Mr. Everett, of Vermont Mr. Hall, of Vermont Mr. Mason, of Ohio. The following gentlemen moved amendments : AGAINST THE WOOL GROWER. All Loco Focos. Mr. Cushing, of Massachusetts, Tylerite. Mr. Brown, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee. Mr. Smith, of Virginia. Mr. Roosevelt, of New York. On these motions bv the Whiire to increase pro tection on wool the Loco Focos voted in a mass in the negative. Still Mori While the vetoed Tariff Bill was progressing through the House, Roosevelt of New York cily, moved to cut down the duty on wool to 'JO per cent specific and his motion was sgain sustained by the Loco Foco members a a body. Who then are for protecting wool? Not one Loco Foco member made a motion in the Huuse to increase the duty on wool. The whole proceedings show the Loco Focos to be opposed to any measure in regard to wool that has Protection fur it object So says Burk of JNcw Hampshire. iTIr, Webaler' Mpeecb al Rsalsa, Tho discourse from Mr. WtnsTER, for which the country has looked, of late, with such intenso curiosity, has at length been pronounced. On Friday last, at 1 anueil Hall, in llie presence ot a very large concourse of his friends, this distinguished gentleman delivered, in a speech occupying an hour and three-quarters, a general history of hi later and present politics. Wo have space now only to touch upon some ol the main topics of the speech, and to convey a general notion of its political tenor. Of tho transactions connected Willi the rupture of the Harrison Cabinet it oiler no new disclosures. It declares that Mr. W. gave his advice against all the vetoes. It denounce the compromise act as a measure every way bad. It expresses the hope that tho protective policy will be the perpetual one of this country. It attributes all the disaster of the present state of things lo the failure of ihe Whig to make tho best of Mr. Tyler. Mr. W. thinks that a union with the Administration is still the wisest and best course for the Whig party, to which he avers ho jet most cordially belongs ; and thut the enpitnl measure, now incumbent on every patriot, is the adoption of his own original Exchequer scheme, not shorn of the ex-cluinge feature, but in all its proportions, before they were curtailed by the shears ol Congressional Committees.As to Mr. VV.'s retirement from the Cabinet tho speech seems to u to indicate a furthor pospone- ment We state its matter, however, in the hastiest possible way, and upon a very imperfect perusal. We shall be able in a day or two, we think, to pre sent it to our readers, and to offer the few rcinurks which wo feel it right to venture. Yofionaf hutlh- gtneer. A Cold Shoulder.

From Ibe New York Tribune, September . A severe Frost was experienced all over the State on Uie night between Friday and Saturday. The ground was whitened with it between Auburn and Attica, and wo presume nearly all over our own and the neighboring States. The Railroad Trains between Albany and Rochester were much delayed by the slipping of the wheels on the rails, caused by the frost The weather had for several days previous been cool and cold, with a fall of rain on Wednesday morning All the water-courses ot the interior are unusually high, the canals included. Cayuga Lake is four feet higher than it usually is at Uiis season. Wednesday, Thursday, and rnday, wore cloudy, hilly, windy November-like days; tho trust was kept off till Friday night by Uie cloud and wind. It then came hard enough to aettle Uie business of the Indian Corn and other vegetation to which frost ia an enemy. A great deal of Corn will be spoiled by lit and we presume Uie crop Uirouirhoul the INortli- ern State will be a light one ; but there ia ssid to be much old Corn yet in the hands of the farmers.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1842. AaparllaaaBsusS In Vlaaachasiu The Lias af sate SlatesflBBBj. refuted. About a week or ten days since, the Statesman waa in great travail about the injustice which it waa pretended had been done by the Whigs in the Legislature of Massachusetts, to their opponents, in the apportionment of the State. These complaint, as we then suspected, turn out to be entirely without foundation. They are only trumped up for the base purpose of covering over the frauds of the Loco Focos in other States, and to stimulate them to further wrongs, by pretence that the Whigs, when Ihey have the power, are no better than the Loco Focos themselves. This is but a poor remuneration for the fair and honorable course of the Whigs of Massachusetts, and if virtue was not its own reward, would not go far toward encouraging Die in in the practice of justice and impartiality. One cause of complaint, is, that counties have been divided in forming the new district. Such has always been the practice in that State it wa ao twenty year ago. At present it waa unavoidable. There were fourteen large counties, and but ten districts, and it was found lhat the districts could be made much more compact by dividing the counties than by attempting to keep them together. The Boston Advertiser say that the division of the State "has been dono in a manner which constitute district of very nearly equal population, with the exception of one consisting of the city of Boston, all formed of contiguous towns, compactly and conveniently situated for acting in concert A bare inspection of the map will show that so far as regards the geographical form of the several district, and the convenient location of their respective parti, the distribution is as unobjectionable as any that could be found. It will be found also on examination, that regard has been had, aa far as was practicable, to Uie habits of intercourse and aimilarity of pursuit between the inhabitants of towns united in the same districts." One of the charges of the Loco Foco papers was, that the division had been made in such a manner, that tho Whigs would elect 9 out of the ten members to Congress. When it is recollected that there is a Whig majority of 15 or 20,000 in the State, pretty equally diffused, and that the Whigs elected 10 of the 12 members at the last election, it would be no decided proof of unfairness, if they should socure nine out of the ten new members. A State cannot be divided with exclusive reference to political contention. In the present instance, the districts comprise almost an exact equality of population aryingless than 1000 from 71,500, except in the ily of Boslon, and that operate to the disadvantage if tho Whigs. In New York there are disparities f 10, 15, 20, and 25,000 between the different dis-l icls, and that when it was perfectly convenient to uve made them much more uniform in point of num-ers. The simple fact that in Massachusetts, the districts all contain within a thousand or twelve lundred of the exact ratio prescribed by Congre with the exception above named is proof conclu sive that the division has been honestly made. And we venture to asseit, that whichever party haa Uie majority in the State, will be found to have the ma jority in Congress. If the Loco Focos can carry Uie State by 10 or 15,000 they will have all the Representative in Congre, without doubt, except possi bly the Boston district We had something different from this to complain of in Ohio. Here we might have carried the State by 10,000 majoiity, and still the Loco Focos would have got 14 out of the 21 Representative. Tho Boston Advertiser demonstrates beyond all cavil that :he division is a fair and equitable one, by showing how tho district aa now formed, would have elected member of Congress in 1839 the year in which Morton wa elected Governor by a majority of I one role. The results in the district would have beon as follows : Whig Loco Foco Irlslrict. Population. maj. maj.
